Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

This capstone event at C4 will allow me to show my work in a public and centrally located area in a midsize American city. The central location will allow access to more people in downtown Rochester where hundreds of people congregate after work and dine at many Rochester downtown restaurants and bars.My target population will walk away with a better understanding of photography, a better understanding of grassroots efforts in showing artwork, as well as a better understanding of the people of Northeast Thailand (Peace Corp's 'goal number three').

Measurable Outcome(s)

There were 500 attendants at my event. I have stories that people wrote in my comment book, telling how they learned about a new culture and new food because of my photographs and stories as well as food provided Bo Sok Dee.
